The TE-1026 Teflon end caps provide secure sealing for PUF (polyurethane foam) glass cartridges used in high-volume air sampling systems. Each end cap includes integrated silicone o-rings to ensure leak-proof operation during ambient air sampling for volatile organic compounds and semi-volatile contaminants.
System Compatibility
Two TE-1026 end caps are required for each TE-1009 glass cartridge. The TE-1009 glass cartridge with stainless steel screens is designed for dual sampling module systems that meet EPA methods TO-4A, TO-9A, and TO-13A requirements for ambient air quality monitoring.
PUF Sampling Applications
These end caps are essential components for PUF sampling systems used to collect volatile organic compounds and airborne pesticides. The dual sampling module configuration allows simultaneous collection of volatile organic compounds, airborne pesticides, and PFAS in ambient air.
PUF samplers operate at flow rates between 125 and 250 liters per minute, requiring robust sealing components to maintain sampling integrity throughout extended monitoring periods.
Installation and Maintenance
Install end caps at both ends of the TE-1009 glass cartridge to create a sealed sampling chamber for the polyurethane foam medium. The Teflon construction provides chemical resistance and maintains seal integrity across temperature variations during outdoor ambient monitoring.
Inspect o-rings regularly for wear and replace end caps if silicone seals show signs of deterioration. Proper sealing prevents bypass flow that would compromise sampling accuracy and EPA compliance.
Sold individually. Order two units per TE-1009 glass cartridge for complete sampling module assembly.
